by Ed Mate, Executive Director, Colorado Golf Association

If you’ve ever dreamed of playing the best golf courses in America, the Colorado Golf Association (CGA), might just have a ticket with your name on it. This golf season, the CGA, home to more than 60,000 members, is conducting their Dream Golf Vacation Raffle — Presented by BMW. The 2019 raffle features seven grand prize packages including six Stay-and-Play packages at top golf resorts in the country, which feature 12 of the top 50 public courses in the United States, as ranked by Golf Digest. In addition to the Stay-and-Play packages, a grand prize winner will attend the 2019 BMW Championship at Medinah Country Club in Chicago.

This unique raffle supports youth golf programs conducted by the non-profit Colorado Golf Association at its own premier golf facility, CommonGround Golf Course, ranked #4 “Best public places you can play in Colorado” by Golfweek. Programs conducted by the CGA are Youth on Course, the Solich Caddie & Leadership Academy, Hale Irwin Player Program and Community and Wellness program which welcomes organizations such as Special Olympics, Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Denver-area Boy & Girl Scouts.
